[gloriously upbeat instrumental introduction]
When times got bad
When times got hard
When everything always seemed
To go wrong
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there, for me
When I needed to confide
and I had nothing to hide
you could always show me the best
way, for me
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there, for me
If you ever go away
I'll always hold you dear in my heart
and I know I could never say
you don't hold me dear in your heart
But I wanted to tell you
that I'd do the same for you
I just want to help you, with
any problems, to pull through.
I want to do the same for you.
You were always there for me
and I want to be there for you too.
I just want to be there for you,
like you were for me
I want to be there for you.
Oh, please, believe me,
when you were always there
it was always good to know
that you always cared
Oh, I want to do the same for you
Yeah, I want to do the same.
Oohh, I want to, oh, yes I really want to
I want to do the same for you
Oh, yes, I do.
I want to do the same for you.
Oh, I want to do the same for you
Yeah, I want to do the same
Oohh, I want to, oh, yes I really want to
I want to do the same for you
Oh, yes, I do.
I want to do the same for you
